Very helpful information. I did know that when my Allergic Contact Dermatitis was active on my hands it brought such please to run warm/hot water over my rash, but then I paid a price because the itching and pain returned within a few seconds, but sometimes it was worth it to get temporary relief. I hadn't made the connection to the fact heat brought the histamines to the surface.
What made a difference for me in dropping my overall inflammation for all my types of eczema, was a few months before I tried cilantro, I had given up all processed sugar and at that time had given up even natural sugar in fruit. I did a zero-sugar detox, along with a gluten detox for 3 months. This starves out the yeast residing in our intestines which feeds on sugar and its' waste transfers though our intestinal lining and into our bloodstream raising our histamines. This required incredible will power, 95% harder than stopping alcohol for me. I never was overweight or thought I ate much processed sugar, sure I ate an occasional dessert a few days a week, but it's in so many of our processed foods. This detox stopped the incredible internal skin pain which felt like taser jolts 24/7 driving me to consider suicide because of the misery and lack of sleep. Now 4 years off of processed sugar these sensations haven't returned. I learned this from The Yeast Connection Handbook, William Crooke, Md, mind you I had no external yeast symptoms.
